What they do

Their core work

Motorola Solutions Israel is the Israeli R&D arm of Motorola Solutions, a global leader in mission-critical communications and security technology. In H2020, they contributed advanced IoT platforms, computer vision, and command-and-control systems primarily for law enforcement and public safety applications. Their work spans real-time situational awareness tools, autonomous surveillance platforms, and secure communication infrastructure for first responders and security agencies. They also brought building performance monitoring expertise through sensor-based auditing systems in the energy domain.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Building energy performance auditing
Recent focus
IoT security platforms for LEAs

Motorola Solutions Israel began its H2020 participation in 2015 with an energy-sector project on building performance auditing (TOPAs), where they served as coordinator. From 2017 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward public security — delivering IoT platforms, computer vision, and decision-support tools for law enforcement across three consecutive projects (beAWARE, CONNEXIONs, CREST). The progression shows increasing technical sophistication, moving from weather-event response to full-spectrum crime and terrorism detection with blockchain, AR, and autonomous systems.

Motorola Solutions Israel is concentrating on integrated IoT-and-AI platforms for law enforcement, suggesting future collaborations will center on public safety, border security, and smart policing technologies.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: active_partnerReach: European19 countries collaborated

Motorola Solutions Israel primarily participates as a technology partner rather than leading consortia — they coordinated only 1 of 4 projects. With 45 unique partners across 19 countries, they operate in large, diverse consortia typical of EU security research. Their role is that of a major technology provider bringing industrial-grade communications and platform integration capabilities to research-driven consortia.

Broad European network spanning 45 partners across 19 countries, reflecting the multinational consortium structure typical of H2020 security projects. As an Israeli company, they serve as a key non-EU technology contributor in European security research.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Motorola Solutions Israel brings something rare to EU consortia: industrial-scale mission-critical communications expertise backed by a global corporation, combined with hands-on R&D in IoT, computer vision, and autonomous monitoring. Unlike academic partners or small tech firms, they can develop prototypes that align with actual deployment requirements for police forces and emergency services. Their dual experience in both energy monitoring and security gives them unusual versatility in sensor integration and real-time data platforms.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • TOPAs
    Their only coordinator role in H2020, and their sole energy-sector project — demonstrates breadth beyond security.
  • CREST
    Most technically ambitious project combining IoT, autonomous systems, blockchain, AR, and computer vision into a single crime-fighting platform.
  • CONNEXIONs
    Largest security consortium participation, focused on next-generation immersive IoT for crime and terrorism prediction.

Analysis note: Profile based on 4 projects with moderate keyword data. Early projects (TOPAs, beAWARE) lack keyword annotations, so the evolution analysis relies partly on project titles and descriptions. The security focus from 2017 onward is well-evidenced by CREST's rich keyword set. Motorola Solutions is a well-known global company, but this profile reflects only their H2020 participation through the Israeli entity.
